How to earn money by writing articles or blogs

I've created a handful of successful online businesses, and I am about to start another one, but this time it will be something different – because if you're interested in growing an online business, then there are so many ways to do that.

But the most common way to make money as an author is by creating content or writing articles for websites and blog posts. And there's no better way to do that than to tell me how.

So here's what I want to tell you. Starting From Scratch Is Better Than Buying A Website First Thing First: If you're starting from scratch you can use your website and keep all your sources open. That way you get to design your website in whatever direction you want.

If this isn't your first business (or even website), you get to choose any template of yours. That means you get to change it up and make changes whenever you want. But don't worry if you have to tweak things a little bit – sometimes I've decided to go for more graphic design and less text. For example, I'll say "Hello Hello" to people when I'm talking to them instead of "Good morning!" When it comes to marketing, my target audience doesn't always prefer using keywords and they aren't likely to Google certain terms related to mine. So I don't say "buy a house by speaking at the beach". They go to their website and search for my name. That's how much a good business is worth.

That being said, one drawback is that you need to find out how I can monetize my site and decide whether you want ads on top of it. At least in 2020, the best way to do it is to add an affiliate link, something like Amazon, Google Adwords (which sometimes costs $1000), and Facebook for $5-$20 per year. (And yes, once in a while it works without ads, so you're not going to have to spend that amount.)

Some other tools you need to know to become more successful are; SEO, CMS, and coding skills. All these will become obvious as you progress along your journey!

Once everything is done, you can leave it to sit on any page of your website until visitors reach your homepage. You can also install plugins to make sure your blog looks nice and you can increase the loading speed.

You can think of blogging in the same way as YouTube: they both allow creators to upload videos, and they both pay them $5/month!

What Are The Best Writers to Write About?

I started making money by telling myself what I liked and how I found it. People love reading my stuff because it takes a lot less effort and it gives more details. It's easier to understand because I put myself into each piece (or "story") and I provide examples and then I talk about the topic. This makes me seem more intelligent and creative than just reading an article and waiting for people to find something useful. But I also think that the only thing that can bring anyone to look at your writing is good writing.

And I thought this would be pretty exciting for you too! Let's figure this out.

Do you want to write about anything? Then let me know in the comments!

What Kind Of Content Should We Write?

The type of content you should write is very important. What kind of topics do you write about. Do you write about health? Maybe about how I lost weight during quarantine. Maybe about something more serious. Do you write about politics? Maybe about the future of technology. Whatever you write it should come from a story. The reader is your boss and they should feel confident in what they see.

If that sounds like easy work, take this quiz to see what topics you'd like me to cover for our next class: 

There are plenty of online publications to check out, such as Medium, LinkedIn, News Break, and others. Start with the ones that are most popular in your niche. Make the choice based on topics. Don't forget to read those articles. Most are written by experts who know what their readers like and they'll tell you some secrets about what they do well. Just be careful about publishing stories (if possible) before they hit publication and before you have enough followers to show them to your potential customers. Don't make mistakes like many writers out there as you might ruin your reputation.

In conclusion, I hope that this was enough to share some information on where to start, how you can improve yourself, and why you might want to start your own online business! I want to hear your thoughts on it! Let's connect on social media or get in touch!
